The Great Football Song Library No.5: ‘The Anfield Rap’ By Liverpool FC

Liverpool FC is hard as hell
United, Tottenham, Arsenal
Watch my lips and I will spell
‘Cause they don’t just play, but they can rap as well…

Liverpool’s official song for the 1988 FA Cup Final – which they lost, famously, to Wimbledon’s Crazy Gang – remains one of the finest examples of an entire football team making utter pricks of themselves. Apart from John Barnes, who of course has epic flow.
